Greetings gamers and welcome to the preview for issue 8 of SIDEQUEST magazine.
So¸ what's in issue 8?
The Belladonna The Belladonna is an ancient Akmeri sky city that crashed into the sands of Ashk centuries ago. In the time since its crash¸ it has become a popular destination for adventurers looking to recover the treasures lost within. This article details the lore of this fantastic location¸ including information on threats and NPCs found within.
Alternate Resurrection System
Death and resurrection in 5e can be pretty boring from a narrative standpoint. If you have the diamonds¸ you just cast the spell and the dead come back to life.
This article introduces new optional rules to add more narrative weight to returning from the dead.
New Magic Items
Vinder's Vault of Magic is back again with even more magic items to use in your campaign!
Dungeonomics
Anto's quest to figure out how much starting goal to give to a level 11 party leads to an exploration and breakdown of the entire economic system of 5e in the first of a new series. ____
